Performance Specifications


	Force Measured Along X-Axis:		Longitudinal force measurement range.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Force Measured Along Y-Axis:		Vertical force measurement range.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Force Measured Along Z-Axis:		Lateral force measurement range.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Torque Measured Around X-Axis:		Torque measurement range around longitudinal axis.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Torque Measured Around Y-Axis:		Torque measurement range around vertical axis.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Torque Measured Around Z-Axis:		Torque measurement range around lateral axis.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Electrical Outputs:
	Your choices are...
	Analog Current		Variable current level output such as 0-20mA, 4-20 mA current loop, etc.
	Analog Voltage		Variable voltage output such as 0-10V, ±5V, etc.
	Frequency or Pulse		Output is a frequency or pulse signal such as AM, FM, or PWM monitoring or control.
	Switch or Relay		Switch type output; contacts are open or closed depending on the state of variable being monitored.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Physical Specifications


	Sensor Diameter:
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Sensor Weight:
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.

	Technology Used:
	Your choices are...
	Piezoelectric		For piezoelectric devices, a piezoelectric material is compressed and generates a charge, which is measured by a charge amplifier.
	Strain Gauge		For strain gage devices, strain gages (strain-sensitive variable resistors) are bonded to parts of the structure, which deform when making the measurement. These strain gages are typically used as elements in a Wheatstone bridge circuit, which is used to make the measurement.
	Optic
	Other
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Environment


	Operating Temperature:		The temperature range over which the device must operate.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Maximum Vibration:		The maximum vibration you require the device to survive. Items that are 'typical' may not explicitly give their Max Vibration value, so it is a good idea to use this only when working with extremes.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
